Michael should count himself lucky; SaMoFM is just a bit too far for me to walk to. My victims of choice will be at the West LA market on Santa Monica Blvd and Butler. Not as bustling as the SaMo Main St FM, but has good veggies and friendly crepe, ribs, tamale and omelet stall holders. And a really nice French baker -both the bread and the guy .

New Year’s resolution: to try the Virginia market, which is now possible with my magic trolley!

The Mulberry in question was theBayswater model in a darker, more mahogany leather. For $1000, I could buy a small MacBook or 10 OLPC laptops (which at that time would also have paid for an equivalent 10 for an underprivileged child somewhere). Or a return flight to the UK at peak season. Still, it is a very nice bag.

Ooooh, I really really wanted an “old lady shopping bag” when I was in Tokyo, but hubby shamed me out of it, so I made Libby carry a doggie back pack and help me haul back milk and stuff. Yours is really pretty though! Hubby would’ve probably said yes to that one.

Hi Lynn,
The granny trolley is brill; it saves our shoulders from the strain of milk and orange juice… I think P would rather I chose a plain one instead of this florid contraption. But hey; it’s a shopping bag.

We tried the back pack on our dog to no avail; she won’t move once it’s strapped on… She has issues.

Yo Chotda,
Yaaars… It never occurred to me how human-like the leather was… I think I be staying far far far away from you before you get ideas…
